What is the U Visa and why is it vital to build a strong case from the start?
The U Visa is an immigration benefit for victims of certain serious crimes who have suffered physical or emotional abuse and are willing to cooperate with authorities in the investigation or criminal process. This process is NOT simple. It requires strong evidence, police certification (Form I-918B), credible statements, and documents demonstrating the impact of the crime. A preparation error can cause delays of years or even denial. Our team prepares and organizes your case with precision to protect your rights, increase your chances of approval, and reduce legal risks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What crimes qualify for the U Visa?+
Qualifying crimes include domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, robbery, extortion, kidnapping, and more than 28 types of crimes in total. The crime must have occurred in the U.S. or violated federal laws.
What is the I-918B certification and how do I get it?+
It is a certification from a law enforcement agency (police, prosecutor, judge) confirming you were a victim and cooperated with the investigation. Without this certification, the case cannot be approved. We help you manage this request.
How long does U Visa approval take?+
USCIS receives far more applications than the 10,000 visas available annually. The wait can be 5 to 6 years or more. However, once on the waiting list, you can request deferred action and a work permit.
Can my family members also benefit from the U Visa?+
Yes. Depending on your situation, you can include as derivatives your spouse, children, parents, and siblings (if you are under 21 years old).
Do I need to report the crime to the police to qualify?+
Not necessarily. What matters is that you cooperate with the certifying agency. Some prosecutors and organizations can certify your case even without a prior police report.
